[0027] The working principle of a feed fermentation device provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0028] During use, the aquatic feed to be fermented is poured into the fermentation tank 1 from the feed inlet 7. At this time, the motor 4 starts to work, driving the stirring rod 5 and the stirring blades 6 on the surface to uniformly stir the feed and the fermentation bacteria. During the fermentation process, the pressure gauge 14 shows the air pressure in the fermentation tank 1. When the air pressure is too high, the air release valve 13 is opened and discharged to the outside through the air pipe 12. To accelerate the fermentation without damaging the bacterial flora, the heating rod 15 can be turned on to heat it for rapid fermentation. When the temperature is too high, the cooling liquid is added to the cooling jacket 21 through the cooling liquid inlet 22 to cool the fermentation tank 1, and the cooled liquid is discharged through the cooling liquid outlet 23. The fermentation state of the fermented material is observed through the viewing window 10. When the fermented feed is ready, the discharge valve 9 is opened and the feed flows out from the discharge port 8. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 1, the water tank 31 is filled with water through the water injection port 32. The water pump 33 respectively delivers water to the fermentation tank 1 for cleaning through the water pipe 37 and the delivery pipe 38 by means of the high-pressure nozzle 39. The water pump 33 delivers water to the steam generator 35 through the cold water pipe 34 to generate steam, and then the steam is delivered to the delivery pipe 38 and sprayed out through the high-pressure nozzle 39. The right side of the water pump 33 is connected to the water pipe 37, and water is directly delivered to the water pipe 37 to clean the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 through the high-pressure nozzle 39. When the steam reaches or exceeds the preset value inside the water pressure switch 36, the water pressure switch 36 will automatically disconnect the contact and the control circuit, causing the control circuit to cut off the power supply to the steam generator 35 and the water pump 33. This not only ensures the normal operation of the equipment but also ensures the safety of the user and the cleaning effect. The high-temperature steam can quickly dissolve and remove the dirt attached to the inner wall, and the dissolved dirt is flushed through the water pipe 37, preventing the residues in the fermentation tank 1 from not being cleaned in time, which may affect the next fermentation process.
